Missed Call Text Back: Never Lose Another Lead to a Missed Call
You’re on a job. Your phone rings. You can’t answer. By the time you’re free, the person who called has already booked someone else. It happens dozens of times a week to UK service businesses — and most of them have no idea how much it’s costing them.
Missed call text back changes that. The moment someone calls and doesn’t get through, dAIsy sends them a personalised text automatically — within seconds, while they’re still thinking about your business.

Why Missed Calls Are More Expensive Than You Think
85% of people whose calls go unanswered will not call back. They move on. And in a market where your competitors are listed directly below you on Google, ‘move on’ means ‘book someone else.’
The cost isn’t just the lost job. It’s the marketing spend that generated the call in the first place — wasted. It’s the review you’ll never get. It’s the repeat customer who never became one.

How Missed Call Text Back Works
The setup takes less than ten minutes. Connect your business phone number, write your automatic response message — or use one of dAIsy’s templates — and switch it on. From that point:
Every missed call triggers an automatic SMS to the caller within seconds
Replies come back into your unified inbox alongside all your other messages
Add a booking link so callers can go straight to your calendar without waiting
Set business hours so it only fires when you want it to
Track every conversation from first text to booked job in your dAIsy dashboard
What to Say in Your Missed Call Text
The best missed call texts are short, warm, and give the caller a clear next step. Here are a few examples that work:
Hi, sorry we missed you — we’re on another job right now. Reply here or book a time that suits you: abcpp.ik/book
Hi, it’s ABC Plumbing. We just missed your call — we’d love to help. Reply here and we’ll get back to you as soon as we’re free.
The goal isn’t to close the sale in the text. It’s to keep the conversation alive long enough for you to get back to them.
Part of a Fully Connected System
With dAIsy, missed call text back isn’t a standalone tool — it’s connected to everything else. When a caller replies, the conversation sits in the same inbox as your WhatsApp messages, emails, and social DMs. If they book through the link in your text, it goes straight into your calendar. If they need following up later, your automation handles it.
Missed call text back is included as standard on every dAIsy plan. You don’t pay extra for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with my existing business number?
Yes. dAIsy connects to your existing business phone number. You don’t need a new number or a new SIM. The setup takes around ten minutes and your number stays exactly as it is.
What if someone calls outside business hours?
You can set your missed call text back to fire at any time, or restrict it to your business hours only. You can also customise the message for out-of-hours calls so callers know when to expect a response.
Will I get charged per text?
SMS is available as a flexible add-on so you only pay for what you use. Your core dAIsy plan includes all the setup, automation logic, and inbox features — the SMS credits themselves are a simple add-on with no hidden costs.
